2. New/ Latest/ Updated/ Revised

This is another magic word! For instance, you go to a grocery shop and see a new brand of dark chocolate. As a die-hard chocolate lover, you could not resist it.

In many cases, the company just changes the package of their physical products in order to make them seem new. And in most cases, they have success in making more sales, even if for a short duration. Online, the same is the case. Companies for instance, if they can, love to disguise older posts and course modules as new.

Now, this is not wrong, if there is new content in these and if it is useful in the current environment. However, the strategy does work in bringing in new customers or just subscribers.

When you use the word ‘New’ in your blog posts, people immediately get alert as they search for new information which may be useful. If your blog post does contain a lot of valuable information, your readers may even share it!

3. Proven/ Discovered/ Invented

This is without a word a very powerful trigger word. It is indeed strong enough to engage your audience. This is because when readers see the word ‘Proven’, they will feel that the product or service is well tested and is therefore completely safe. Everyone desires the best value for their money. The word ‘Proven’ accentuates their trust in the website selling the item.

Secondly, it shall lead your readers to believe that yours is an authority website which offers products or services much better than from other websites.
